The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • squid: assertion failure in Range header processing (SQUID-2014:2) (CVE-2014-3609)

  • squid: off-by-one error in snmpHandleUdp() leading to a bss-based buffer overflow (SQUID-2014:3) (CVE-2014-6270)

  • Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header. (CVE-2009-0801)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
